This morning my boss Graham Vermoteen spoke about his recent visit to America were he had gone to a Broadcasters meeting. In that meeting Mel Gibson the director of the movie "The Passion of the Christ" was honoured for making that movie. I hear he got a standing ovation and rightly so.
In his speech he mentioned the fact that since the movie had been shoot they have received tons of letters from all the world as people gave their feedback. Interestingly enough, he added, they still have not managed to get through half of the letters that they have received. The letters that they have managed to get through one thing that comes out oftein about the movie is the amount of violence in it. Hence as an Easter special they have cut out half the stuff that is deemed too violent. Well thats subject to debate I guess.
The reason why I write about this is just to remind you the great significance of Easter. The death of Christ for us. Forget the easter bunny, easter eggs and all that mumbo jambo. However you would want to look at Christ death the fact is it was the most gruesome and inhumane tortue that an individual has had to go through. All this as you probably know was just to save our own beacon.
Despite all this Christ conqured death and rose again. Whatever theories archiologist or the other, have come out with in qualifiying or disputing his resurrection. All that matters is the facts that only the heart can comprehend through faith. The fact that he died for us and rose again. So this Easter let it not just be another occasion that you take time out of work and do the normal easter routine of going to church or munching your Easter eggs like they is no tomorrow. Let it be a time that you apply the victory of his death and resurrection to all aspects of your life.
You have yourself a God filled and celebratory Easter. Keep it Tight 4real.

Internet Blues
I would like o sencerely apologise for not updating my blog in a long time. I have not had access to the internet for a long time and only got it recently.
It all started with someone downloding or using our internet space without our permission. Basically we run out of Gigs in the shortest time imaginable. Trust me losing 6 gigs of internet space is a hack of a lot. I guess someone got hold of our passwords and did what any Jack would do, "Go on a shopping spree". Well in this case download major league DATA.
So if you thought I was being anti social I hope you understand and forgive me. They is tons of unread emails I have to go through so I will be doing that in the next few days. Hopefully in the process I will be able to reply yours promptly.
Otherwise you Keep it Tight 4Real. Thank you again for being part of my life. God Bless

UPDATE ON MV TSUNAMI TEAM
Thought I give you guys a quick update on the Media Village team which went to South East Asia to gather information on the Tsunami Disaster. The information is to be used to mobiles various Christians who have a want to go and offer their services building up the countries affected by Tsunami disaster. We have mobiles more 100 volunteers who have vast experience and practical skills needed to build up and help Tsunami victims.
The team came back on Wednesday looking very tired with a lot of stories to tell. Sad stories I might add..... We have a lot of footage so the Post Production team of which I am part of will soon be working on it. We will be editing stories to show the aftermath of stories which will shown different communities. Volunteers will be much more informed on what to expect and what their services will entail once they get to Asia. They are so many Aid organizations in Asia helping out in response to this sad disaster. The danger however is as soon as media attention shifts from Tsunami, so will be some of the Aid organizations sationed in that continent. I will not be surprised if the missionaries, as been experienced in the past disaster, are left behind to finish the work. So it is of paramount importance that we pray that as media attention shifts we will still have people working and helping our fellow brothers and sisters. As I always say the best way to give your whole being in helping others, is to put yourself in the situation and imagine your family members in the same situation. I am sure you will be so moved pray even harder than you have ever done before. Trust me I have done that before.
I will greatly appreciate your prayers. Thanks for to all who emailed me and left comment in appreciation of the Blog. I greatly appreciate that. Hope to hear from you soon. KEEP IT TIGHT 4REAL
